TAG Heuer introduced three more Carrera Calibre 1887 timepieces in 2012: theĬAR2012. If you prefer the elegance of a leather strap, be sure to have between 2,000 and 3,100 USD on hand. Pre-owned pieces sell for between 2,000 and 2,800 USD, depending on their condition. No matter which version you choose, a new watch on a stainless steel bracelet will cost around 3,400 USD. Earlier Calibre 1887 watches had a seconds scale instead of a tachymeter scale. TAG Heuer has been outfitting every timepiece with a tachymeter scale on a ring around the dial since 2011. A date display sits within the hour counter at 6 o'clock. The hour counter at 6 and minute counter at 12 o'clock are both more detailed, with a fine concentric circle guilloché pattern inside a silver ring with black indices. The small seconds at 9 o'clock is especially simple and looks like a crosshair at a distance. These watches also share their subdial layouts. Both feature rhodium-plated hands and hour indices. While the CAR2110 has a matte black dial, the CAR2111 shines with a silvery white face. The only difference between the two models is their dial color. The first two Carrera Calibre 1887 models debuted in 2010 and bear the reference numbersĬAR2111. Minute and hour counters, a small seconds dial, and a date display complete this timepiece's functionality. With a frequency of 28,800 alterations per hour (A/h), this caliber can measure periods of time to within 1/4th of a second. Each movement sits inside a stainless steel, titanium, or carbon case that is water-resistant to 100 m (10 bar, 328 ft). Technically speaking, despite being based on a Seiko design, the Calibre 1887 is an TAG Heuer's engineers have replaced its plates, bridges, and rotor with components from the Swiss company's own workshops. This movement is a heavily modified version of the Seiko TC78 (6S37). The series is named after its power source: the Calibre 1887. The final result resembles a bull's head. What's more, the crown sits atop the case at 12 o'clock, flanked by push-pieces at 11 and 1 o'clock. At 45 mm, it's easily the largest timepiece in this collection. For a sportier touch, there's also the choice of a five-piece link stainless steel bracelet.Ĭarrera Calibre 1887 Bullhead is anything but ordinary. This chronograph feels especially elegant on an alligator leather strap, which TAG Heuer offers in a number of varieties. A classic round case, narrow bezel, cleanly structured dial, and luminous stick indices define the look of these timepieces. Its design bears a strong resemblance to early Carrera models from the 1960s. Carrera Calibre 1887 first saw the light of day in 2010.
